SCUBA: Self contained underwater breathing apparatus. Scuba is an acronym that stands for underwater divers who strap tanks of oxygen or oxygen mix air to their back and are able to stay underwater without extra tubes, pipes or equipment. It is amazing to do but does have some dangers so you have to go thru certification to get good.
